“A Langley officer noted a vehicle driving without headlights,” said RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy. “He also observed the vehicle was missing a brake light. The officer activated his emergency equipment and stopped the vehicle in the 4800 block of 200th Street. One of the passengers in the vehicle was known to the officer and it was soon discovered the passenger was wanted on an arrest warrant.”
